The Drift theft incident is full of suspicious points, with reports of executive changes and major alterations to the multisig shortly before the event.
BlockBeats news, on April 2, according to an analysis by Chaos Labs founder Omer Goldberg, who serves as Aave's risk advisor, the Drift protocol's signing key holds several major powers, and there are no delay mechanisms such as time locks. One week ago, Drift migrated to a new multi-signature account, which was created by a signer from the original multi-signature account. This signer did not add themselves to the new account, and the multi-signature mechanism was changed to "2/5" (1 old signer + 4 new signers).
In addition, some community members pointed out that a core Drift team member left the project last month, raising concerns about protocol internal management, key handovers, and risk control systems.
